Summary

Clara Phillips has finally had enough—she has a failing marriage, a career in Hollywood that is sliding to a stop and no children. More than a decade of violent outbursts has finally added up to extreme violence and Alberta Meadows is her target. But will Alberta become Clara Phillips’s victim or is it someone else? Remember that Peggy Caffey is also inside that car on Montecito Drive.
